All asymptomatic young people at risk of sexually transmitted infections were offered urinary polymerase chain reaction testing for M. genitalium whilst being tested for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae over a four-month period in 2012. Those who tested positive were notified of the infection and offered treatment. Sixty asymptomatic young people (36 female and 24 male) were tested for M. genitalium, identifying eight cases (13%) (six female and two male). Ten young people (17%) tested positive for C. trachomatis, three (5%) of whom were positive for both M. genitalium and C. trachomatis. There were no cases of N. gonorrhoeae. Of the eight cases of M. genitalium, seven were contactable and five were treated at our clinic with azithromycin 1\u2009g stat. Two of the five returned after a month for a test of cure, identifying one resistant infection. Further data on the epidemiology of M. genitalium are required before testing recommendations can be made; however, consideration should be given to testing for M. genitalium in settings where other sexually transmitted infections are prevalent.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0956462413502317","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,11]],"date-time":"2013-09-11T22:41:03Z","timestamp":1378939263000},"page":"299-302","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Asymptomatic\n                    <i>Mycoplasma genitalium<\/i>\n                    infection amongst marginalised young people accessing a youth health service in Melbourne"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Dorothy","family":"Henning","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Young People\u2019s Health Service, Centre for Adolescent Health, Royal Children\u2019s Hospital, Melbourne, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Donna","family":"Eade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Young People\u2019s Health Service, Centre for Adolescent Health, Royal Children\u2019s Hospital, Melbourne, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alison","family":"Langstone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Headspace, Melbourne, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alison","family":"Bean-Hodges","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sexual Health Service, The Women\u2019s Hospital, Melbourne, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandra","family":"Marceglia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sexual Health Service, The Women\u2019s Hospital, Melbourne, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Azzopardi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Adolescent Health, Royal Children's Hospital, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute, and Department of Paediatrics, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0956462413502317","unstructured":"Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.\n                      Second national sexually transmissible infections strategy 2010\u20132013\n                      .
